At the time of the legal actions in China, Biltema was already selling Coko.
IIRC they discontinued that when LEGO pressed charges?

Hmmm. Perhaps it's time to do a combustion stress test of that clone house I
have at SweLUG#5?

Probably yes!
But I wouldn't mind if the result was cheaper LEGO. :-)
For those of you who don't know what this is about:
http://www.biltema.no/ still sell it.
Goto "HJEM - Lek/hobby - Byggeklosser".
I have always thought that the Coco stuff looks awful,
especially the minifigs.
Good luck with your SweLUG#5!

If you by cheaper mean less expensive and not cheaper, yes!

I've been somewhat curios and figured I should get one of the smaller sets just
to see how it is but never got around too. Think I'll keep it that way.

Thanks! It was a blast! We broke all previous Swedish records, number of
participants (13, +3 kids), number of brought models (64), you name it - we
broke it!
I have gathered all the 925 photos (492MB - yep another record) from the four
digital cameras that where running during the event, expect about a hundred or
so in a complete write-up within the next week or so (video might take longer).
